Trump, 78, Challenges Biden, 81, to Second 'No Holds Barred' Debate Before 8 PM

Jul 5, 2024, 04:30 PM

Former President Donald Trump has challenged President Joe Biden to a second presidential debate, proposing a 'no holds barred' format without moderators. Trump made the offer on Truth Social, suggesting the debate take place before 8 PM. This challenge comes as Biden, 81, attempts to recover from a shaky performance in the first debate and continues his campaign. Biden, despite the criticism, has expressed confidence in his ability to beat Trump, 78, in the upcoming November election. The White House has faced backlash over its handling of the debate fallout, and Biden is set to address the issue in an interview with ABC News tonight at 8/7c.
